  • Be a True Worshiper

    I didn’t write this post but have given full credit to the author at the end. I read it earlier this morning and thought it was worth sharing on my blog – it’s all for God’s glory and that’s the main thing! I hope you all enjoy it and implement it in your lives 🙂…

  • The Big Ten and the Big Two

    I have copied this from a devotional I have been reading on the ‘Bible’ App. The devotional is called ‘Right from the heart – 1 minute devotions’. (See reference at end for details) I am posting this because it is one of the best summaries I have seen of how to live life to the…

  • Strength through weakness

    Where You Are Weak, He Is Strong But He said to me, My grace (My favor and loving-kindness and mercy) is enough for you [sufficient against any danger and enables you to bear the trouble manfully]; for My strength and power are made perfect (fulfilled and completed) and show themselves most effective in [your] weakness.…

  • Learn to wait

    This piece was not written by me but I feel it is something many of us struggle with – especially in life’s tough decisions! It has spoken to me today and so I offer it to all who follow my blog. ‘But those who wait for the Lord [who expect, look for, and hope in…

  • Make a difference: change your focus!

    Are you feeling anxious? Are you being judgemental? Are your ideas confused? Make a difference today by focusing your attention on God. This post is copied from the devotional App ‘Jesus Calling’ by Sarah Young:- Keep your focus on Me. I have gifted you with amazing freedom, including the ability to choose the focal point…

  • Searching for meaning

    Seek My face. This is taken from a devotional App called ‘Jesus Calling’ by Sarah Young. Marianne, one of my daughters, recommended it to me and I really love the way Sarah takes verses from the Bible and turns them into a conversation between God and the reader. This is the one for today –…

  • New beginnings

    A word from the Lord to me – and maybe for you too? I want to share this with all of you because it spoke to me and I feel it’s very appropriate for New Years Eve! I’m reading a devotional on my ‘Bible’ App by Joyce Meyer called ‘Promises for your everyday life’ The…

  • Whatever you are facing today

    Whatever life is throwing at you today: no matter how difficult it is; regardless of the issues you must address or the situations you have to deal with – you need not face them alone. We have God’s word on the matter – He is our Rock: we can lean on Him with total confidence…

  • Not ashamed!

    It struck me this morning, as I read Romans Ch 1 verse 16, that Christians should not be ashamed of their faith for several very good reasons: – the word ‘gospel’ means ‘good news’ – ‘salvation’, in the context of the gospel, means ‘ deliverance from eternal death’ – the ‘gospel of Christ’ is ‘…

  • Very reassuring

    These verses are very reassuring because they remind me that it is by the power of God’s love and favour that I am kept close to Him. It doesn’t depend on me! I’ve accepted that I am helpless to deal with my sin. I am trusting in Jesus for my salvation. I am unable to…
